In Returning Memory, a very early work, I used my much younger sister in the role of an imaginary little girl. In her unique presence and the story that revolves around her, I sought to portray idealized images of women wrapped in clothes that conceal the true state of their living flesh.
Through this series, I came to realize the importance in women’ s lives of the charmed period of girlhood, which is both a part of every woman’ s memory and a fanciful fiction. What interested me was that sometimes the truth seems to lie not in facts, but in a past relived through vague memories and imagination.
